For millions of once upwardly-mobile Americans, the name “Procter & Gamble” (PG) will forever be associated with the mid-day television dramas – a.k.a. “soap operas” – they sponsored for decades to promote Tide, Gain, Downy, Dawn and a list of familiar household cleansers, personal … Continued

re: “violence” in the #OO movement and the Arab spring/Greek austerity movements

November 10, 2011 at 12:51 am.

Posted by zeteticeptic

Let’s be careful not to compare ourselves too closely to those movements. They are totally different cultures, with totally different cultural values, and totally different sets of circumstances. One key difference is that those movements have broad support from the general population. #OO and #OWS do not yet have that kind of support. We are still in the process of earning that support from the mainstream masses, which is why I believe that now is not the time for a set of tactics that include property destruction and empty slogans … Continued

An Open Letter to Occupy Oakland

November 10, 2011 at 12:04 am.

Posted by TimothyYFong

There has been a lot of discussion about the deposit of funds into my Wells Fargo client trust account. In the interests of transparency, I submit this open letter. When I volunteered the use of the account I was balancing the possibility of bad PR, with the possibility of forestalling serious physical harm to people in the jail. It was possible that there would have been mass arrests on the day of the general strike. If I have to choose between bad PR and human lives, then I will choose … Continued

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
